This week pork tenderloins were on sale at our local grocery store. Score! I had some bacon in the house that I needed to use up – that’s where this dish was born.
This pork was wonderful and so easy! And…let’s face it…everything is better with bacon. We are absolutely going to be making this again [...]

The Best Turkey Chili

I love my Mom’s chili recipe – it’s thick, tomatoey and great over elbow noodles. But, recently I’ve wanted to try my hand at a recipe with a little more substance so I whipped this up. It was wonderful! So thick, rich and had much more flavor than the chili I’m used to.
This recipe makes [...]

As I’m sure you’re all aware by now, my darling Husband can’t eat dairy. Poor guy.
About two weeks ago we went out to dinner and I ordered this dish. It was so good and I kept wishing I could just give him a forkfull to taste how wonderful it was! So, I decided to try [...]

A few weeks ago my sister and I went to her friend’s Pampered Chef party. While there, the consultant whipped up this pizza. Unfortunately, I wasn’t taking notes and couldn’t find this on their website so I’m not sure if my recipe is right or not…but after tasting it I don’t really care. It was [...]

What a weird day! It’s snowing outside and is cold enough to be December. Christopher was craving a turkey dinner so we did an early Thanksgiving, which shouldn’t be until November. But, no! It’s the middle of October! I’m SO not ready for snow yet.
Anyway, onto the food. Like I said, Christopher was craving a [...]
Turkey Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats

I’ve got a new found love for zucchini and almost started drooling when I saw these on Annie’s Eats. I should have read the directions all the way through, because I didn’t have enough time to let these bake with the zucchini…so I made a few changes and cooked the veggies while making the filling [...]

While at Whole Foods the other day Christopher and I spotted some yummy looking marinade in front of the meat counter and figured “what the heck, let’s give it a whirl.” So, we picked it up along with a great looking piece of flank steak. It was SO good!
(I have not been compensated for recommending [...]

I have just recently started enjoying salsa. I’m not sure why I didn’t like it before…the stuff is delicious!
So, to take advantage of my new found love, I decided to do some Googling and figure out how to cook with salsa. I found a recipe for salsa chicken on Crockpot 365. I didn’t feel like [...]
Shrimp and Grits

I’ve always wanted to try shrimp and grits but figured it was impossible to do without cheese and/or heavy cream. That is, until today. I came across this recipe on Skinny Food by Amy and decided to give it a try.
Christopher and I both really enjoyed the shrimp and vegetable mixture. The grits were…interesting. I [...]

It has come to my attention by some of my loyal readers – ok, just one crazy pesto-obsessed reader/friend – that there is a lack of pesto in my blog. Well, Aaron…this one is for you!
I’ve been wanting to make salmon pasta for a while now and got a wicked craving for it today. Bridget [...]
